Freedom. Self reliance. Individualism. American exceptionalism, the Constitution, Shining City on the Hill, brother.

That doesn't resonate among most immigrants and minorities. They favor Big Government and more benefits. It is in their self-interest to vote for the Dems. Phyllis Schlafly laid this all out with documentation, graphs, etc. in her study, How Mass (Legal) Immigration Dooms a Conservative Republican Party If you are truly interested in the facts, you should read it.

Here are some factoids about immigrants in America:

In 2010, 23 percent of immigrants and their U.S.-born children (under 18) lived in poverty, compared to 13.5 percent of natives and their children. Immigrants and their children accounted for one-fourth of all persons in poverty.

The children of immigrants account for one-third of all children in poverty.

In 2010, 36 percent of immigrant-headed households used at least one major welfare program (primarily food assistance and Medicaid) compared to 23 percent of native households.

n 2010, 29 percent of immigrants and their U.S.-born children (under 18) lacked health insurance, compared to 13.8 percent of natives and their children.

New immigrants and their U.S.-born children account for two-thirds of the increase in the uninsured since 2000.

here are 10.4 million students from immigrant households in public schools, accounting for one in five public school students. Of these students, 78 percent speak a language other than English at home.

Overall, one in four public school students now speaks a language other than English at home.

Many immigrants make significant progress the longer they live in the country. However, on average even immigrants who have lived in the United States for 20 years have not come close to closing the gap with natives.

The poverty rate of adult immigrants who have lived in the United States for 20 years is 50 percent higher than that of adult natives.

The share of adult immigrants who have lived in the United States for 20 years who lack health insurance is twice that of adult natives.

Well the answer is they don’t have any ideas, they don’t believe in anything, and they aren’t going to do anything outside of advancing the government agenda, which is exactly what they have been doing. But I’m sure if we elect a bunch of republicans in 2016 they will finally get around to advancing even one item of the conservative agenda...NOT!

So what's your point? Since both parties are essentially the same, what should real conservatives do and whom should they support? You want to keep, at least, the current level of legal immigration which means importing hundreds of thousands of future Dem voters annually. You want to hasten the demise of the country. Strange and incongruous.

I don’t know, you tell me, your answer is as good as mine. There doesn’t seem to be much of a selection for conservatives to support in this country. Might well be that there is no solution.

And no, I don’t want to hasten the demise of the country, but the demise of the country might well occur regardless of what any of us want or don’t want.

We’ve tried voting them out, and it really doesn’t seem like an Article V convention is catching fire, and even if it did, it seems like trying to pass gun control laws for criminals to follow, so after that what’s left?

If the people of America, natural born or otherwise, don’t want to be free, then they are not going to be.

If I had to try and put my finger on the root of the problem, I’d say that many generations ago free people decided that they didn’t need to focus on fighting for freedom any longer, because they already had it, and they didn’t really bother teaching it to their children, or teaching how hard it is to get and keep, and what happened was, over a period of generations, free people created a nation of complete jack asses that know nothing at all of value or importance.

And I’m not really sure how to correct that or if it can be corrected. Maybe the best that can be hoped for is that some future free nation not follow in our footsteps. And if there is a future free nation, they should know that the left will be there right from the start trying to destroy it from within, because the blueprint for such has been written.
